    That's 10 wingers on the squad who are all more experienced than Lawerence and are likely to be chosen ahead of him. The only possible exception being Wes.

    You can argue bla bla championship goals bla bla all day or that right wing isn't some of the above's "natural" positions if you like but heck they're still going to be chosen ahead of him and will probably do better too, reality is that he's at best 11th winger in line so there's no reason to include him.
    How many times have you seen Lawrence play? Try to be honest now: once, twice...? As for arguing against your point, you've proved in the past that your rants don't stand up to reasoned analysis by multiple posters.

    Lawrence should be in the 11 ( the top player in the Championship - statistically [5 Live]), never mind the 40. I can't believe he is not in there.

    Sean St Ledger should also be in there.

    McGeady can play in the hole, behind the front striker. When he first came on to the scene I thought this looked like a position that he would excel in but as far as I'm aware he hasn't played there much, so if this were to happen Lawrence could easily fit on the right hand side. Besides, as has been debated for eons on this site, McGeady hasn't set the world alight with Ireland (yet) and also Duff isn't playing for Newcastle (currently) and hasn't been at his sharpest since coming back from injury. And as usual you resort to insulting people. Nice.

    Andy Reid played in the Championship until very recently and whether he's playing in the Championship or not he is IMO miles better than most of our other options.

    Do you think the SPL is a higher standard than the Championship?

    cant believe Lawrence hasnt been given a chance to show what he can do... otherwise a decent squad.

    Givens Out.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    He meant for his club, that isn't fair when he has only played once since 2003 (and for one minute, against Cyprus).

    He scored twice for the reserves the 2nd to last time he played. He had an assist and set up a goal the last time he played. He also hit the post against Falkirk in a friendly.

    One statistic that most people here don't know
    Of the 9 times Connolly has played 90 minutes for Ireland, he has scored in 5 of them...he only played 77 minutes against Liechtenstein.

    Point is he's often a sub

    You need help - I mean of all the players to be obsessed with, why David Connolly?

    I'd like to see David Connolly (or any player) do well for Ireland, but not at the expense of players who deserve their place more...how can he play ahead of Morrison, Doyle, Long, Murphy and others? Trundle gets more playing time than he does.

    Up and down the leagues, I'd bet I know more than you do about English, Caribbean, and African football, unfortunately thats not what this forum is about. With MNS, however, I'm starting to know more about LoI. Also, I bet I can name more Irish players up and down the leagues in England (and the teams the play for) than you can, probably more than anyone here, except perhaps maybe tetsujin

    Who are the only two players to score for Montserrat in WC Qualifiers?
    Who is Zimbabwe's alltime goalscoring leader?
    Who manages Yeovil Town?

    Please, no Wikipedia

    Edit: remembered another good one
    Who are the three Caribbean teams to make the World Cup and what years did they do it in?

    I'd guess we'd better go the PMs as well

    Your clue comes (so to speak) in your 8th word...
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Disappointed for Lawrence. His form justifies inclusion.

    Shocked that DC has been named in the list, reserve football since January should not merit a place. Folan has been doing well at Hull and was worth a look IMO.

    well that's even worse then. Calling him up is a waste of time IMO. Liam Miller needs booting out as well at the final cut. We need players who are playing regular football for their clubs.
